I asked, "Why are you digging holes in this stone wall?" ”

He laughed: "If you don't pierce the hole, there will be no air, and I will suffocate to death." It was a test for me by Chu Yuanfeng, and he threw me into this sarcophagus, saying that if I shed the blood of the king, then I must have a sense, and I will not die no matter what. ”

"He's crazy!" I growled in hatred. The five-year-old child was thrown in this closed sarcophagus and stayed with the two corpses, and actually said that the blood of the king would not die, I think this old man listened to the story of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was enlightened and sought immortals, so that he went mad.

Gao Cheng smiled coldly: "I don't know if he's crazy or not, I just know that it only took a few minutes to start feeling tightness in my chest, and at that time, I couldn't push the top cover at all, and my survival instinct touched everywhere in the coffin, and I found something like an awl in the hand of one of them, and I didn't care about the others and started to knock on the mission." It was so sharp that even this particular black stone would have debris coming out when he knocked it, and he thought that if he made a hole in the top, he would definitely find it, so it was better to break it into pieces and make a few more small holes in an inconspicuous place. Leaning on these holes, I let the air run in, and when he came to inspect it, I sat inside, and he looked at me with a look of astonishment and fear. He paused, and said thoughtfully, "It was then that his attitude towards me began to be contradictory, sometimes rejecting like grass, sometimes reverent as a king." ”

My mind was hot, and I opened my hand to wrap my arms around him. He was rarely stunned, looked down at me, and after staring at me with my upward gaze for a moment, he only whispered with affection between his lips: "Fool." But he didn't pull away my hand around him, and let me hold him diagonally. I pressed my forehead against his shoulder, and between my fingers was the piece of his coat, tight, possessive.

My heart is so distressed, how many people have treated him badly when I am still in his life! This is the end of the past in which I cannot participate, and from now on, I swear to God: no one can treat him harshly anymore, and if anyone does, I will fight with my life!

After calming down, his eyes converged on the sarcophagus again, thinking carefully about the reason why Gao Cheng took me to see it. There was a faint thought flickering, but he didn't dare to be sure, but he heard him say it himself: "Xuanwu and hidden, treated with courtesy, plus Chu Yuanfeng's words, if there is a possibility that I have relatives in this world, they may be." ”

"Do you think they died shortly after giving birth to you?"

"No, they've been dead a long time ago, at least fifty years or more."

I wondered, how could I still give birth to him after being dead for so long? Oh no, he just said that he was relatives, so are they his ancestors? But Gao Cheng quickly dismissed my speculation: "It is not impossible for the fetus to survive in the mother's womb when the environment is permitted. I remember seeing the two people when I was five years old, especially the female corpse, except for the lack of breath, the face was ruddy as if she was asleep, and even the body seemed to have residual warmth. It is believed that the sarcophagus contained an external substance, so that they could remain in their pre-death state. ”

"You mean they died fifty years or more, and then ...... How many years did you keep a woman's corpse in the fetus? "Is this a fantasy? How is it possible for a fetus to live in the womb of a dead man for so many years? It can be seen that Gao Cheng's expression is calm, as if he has already affirmed this answer. He is not a man who can talk nonsense, and if he has such a conclusion, he must have been deliberate and logical.

But I still found it hard to believe, and for the first time I doubted his theory, and even thought that the "IVF" he proposed earlier was more likely. Because with modern technology, there are many successful cases of test tube pairing. At least it is more reliable than sealing some kind of medium in the sarcophagus, so that the female corpse can raise the fetus like a normal person. First of all, in order for a fetus to survive, it must need nutrients from the mother, but the mother has died, and has stopped various physiological functions and metabolism, where does the nutrients come from?

Gao Cheng squeezed my palm and said, "Little bamboo, your suspicious expression is too much. Let's calculate a set of data: from the time I was locked in the sarcophagus to the time I felt tightness and shortness of breath, it took three to five minutes at most; After that, I started looking for tools, and it took about five minutes to fumble; Then I went to drill the hole, and although the awl was sharp and sharp, it would take me at least ten minutes to chisel through it with my five-year-old strength. So, in total, I've been in this sarcophagus for at least twenty minutes. ”

Following his train of thought, I frowned: "So you're trying to say that in an oxygen-free environment, you can't survive for so long as a five-year-old child?" He nodded, "Not just five-year-olds, but even adults can suffocate to death in a few minutes at most if they are completely deprived of oxygen." ”

"Does that mean there is air in this sarcophagus?" But as soon as the argument came out, it felt wrong, it was common knowledge that corpses would be oxidized and corroded under the air, but how could Gao Cheng survive those twenty minutes without air? These are two completely contradictory directions.

Gao Cheng waited for me to stare past before he spoke again: "Have you figured it out now?" There was only a small amount of air that I ran into when I was thrown into it by Chu Yuanfeng, and this was definitely not enough to affect the medium that protected the corpse. After that, I felt tightness in my chest because of the depletion of air, and I would normally only get weaker and weaker in that space, but it wasn't. He paused, squinted his eyes into the sarcophagus of the black hole, and said slowly: "The only thing that can explain this phenomenon is that human physiology stagnates at that moment. ”

"Stagnation?" I wondered, "What does stagnation mean?" ”

"You can think of it as time stands still. It's like sealing a corpse in an ice vault after death, and it can generally be refrigerated for about a year in an environment of minus 18C. If the fleromarin solution is used for preservative, and then packed in a special polyethylene plastic bag, it can be frozen permanently. It's the same thing. ”

I somewhat understood what he meant: "You mean that as long as an environment permits, people's physiology will stay at the moment when breathing stops, and the time of people's physiological changes will be stilled by the outside." ”

Such a mysterious and profound truth, who can think of it in ordinary people? And if this is the case, then ...... "Chu Yuanfeng's act of throwing you into the sarcophagus does not seem to be intended to kill you. "The whole thing is his operation, he can't be unaware of the special medium inside the sarcophagus, so what is he doing this for?

Thinking carefully about Gao Cheng's retelling of Chu Yuanfeng's statement just now, if he had the blood of the king, he would not have died no matter what. Is this a trick to intimidate a five-year-old, or does it mean something else? If it is the former and does not say anything, if it is the latter, does it imply that Gao Cheng must meet the conditions of this "king's blood" in order to survive? That reflected in another sense that Chu Yuanfeng was actually doubting Gao Cheng's bloodline, and experimenting in this way.

But there is a contradiction in the middle, the person who put these two corpses into the sarcophagus must be Chu Yuanfeng, and if Gao Cheng's inference just now was correct, he was a strange fetus that one of the female corpses had been in the womb for decades, then the person who finally dissected him and gave birth to him must also be Chu Yuanfeng, why did he still doubt Gao Cheng's bloodline to do such a test?

Here's the problem...... Takashihiro's mother? I stopped meditating. First of all, there are some things I can think of, and Gao Cheng must be able to think of too; Secondly, he can escape into my mental space, and it will embarrass him to see that I am speculating about something private.

I quietly looked at his expression, calm, indifferent, and clueless, this is the appearance. He himself is a restrained person, and now he knows that he still has weak family affection, looking around, he sighs that he has survived in such an environment, and it is a miracle that he has not developed into psychological problems. Thinking of some of the things he had said, he couldn't help asking, "What did you say Chu Yuanfeng left you a fortune?" "It was unlikely that it was money, because with the old man's closed and self-contained personality, and he had not set foot on the island for decades, money was of no use to him.

Sure enough, Gao Cheng replied lightly: "Chu culture." There are many antiquities such as ancient books and bamboo scrolls, which are the stone bricks we step on, and they are also rare treasures for some collectors. ”

I was amazed: "You took it with you on your first voyage out of this island?" He nodded, "Since I'm going out, I'll naturally ask about the rules that should be followed in the outside world." It was also a coincidence that I was rescued in March while floating on the river, and the owner of the freighter happened to be a collector, and I exchanged an ancient book for my first fortune. I also received a lot of information from him, which was very helpful to me when I was only 11 years old at the time. ”

It's rare that he is willing to talk about his former self, and I am also interested in his teenage life, so I raised my eyebrows and asked, "For example?" ”

He glanced at me, his eyes were a little impatient, but he still solved my doubts: "For example, I am only eleven years old, and I must have a guardian before I can travel normally, which is called identification, otherwise I can't enter the school gate, and I can't even manage my finances." ”

The corner of my eye twitched, "You know how to manage money at the age of eleven?" And did you go to school too? Didn't you say that you bought all kinds of psychology books to study on your own? Gao Cheng paused and looked at me with an idiot's eye, "Do you think it's reasonable for me to walk down the street with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash?" Am I digging a hole if I don't put them in the bank? What does it mean that I have also been to school? You and I are illiterate people who haven't even entered the school gate, huh! The last hum was already depressed.

Well, I didn't think it through, mainly because I told him that he had no concept of exchanging ancient books for the first fortune, and who would have thought that the owner of the cargo ship would pay him so much money for a child. In this case, there is no shortage of money for him, as long as he takes one of the antiquities in the city and trades them at a time. But my idea was quickly refuted by him: "Some things are rare to be precious, and all things are unique and priceless." This is a very shallow truth. In addition, I don't want to attract pretenders and expose this pure land to the world, since I have enough money to turn around, I just need to increase it. ”

Speechless yes, if it is Gao Cheng now, I naturally believe that he has enough ability to do the so-called attention, with his high IQ, I am afraid that no matter what field he is involved in, he will be able to benefit, but he was only eleven years old at that time......<
